The ways we can gather and celebrate weddings has changed, and wedding trends are changing right along with it.
As a result, the way we think about the atmosphere of our weddings has changed.

After changes in date, venue, and even province, we re-envisioned the wedding design 3 months before the new date.

I came across Basic Invite a few years ago (back when I was working at Once Wed!), and they recently reached out to show me some of their new wedding stationery products: wedding invites, guest books (am I the only one who thinks pretty guest books are impossible to find?), along with invites for showers and engagement parties and everything that comes along with those events.
Let me show you some of my favourites!
I’ve been waiting a long time to share Morgan and Josiah’s garden-inspired winter wedding at SMITH! They were married December 28, 2019 in a big, joyous celebration and is the perfect example of why winter weddings are awesome.
Rich, luxurious while still approachable, warm, and overloaded with delicious food, there’s probably nothing that I would change about their wedding. The temperature wasn’t even that cold! Read on for more inspiration on throwing a killer winter wedding here in Winnipeg.
